Here is French story with four dis
tinct morals: Four flies were in search
of breakfast One found some jelly
and RECALLED himself. The jelly was
not genuine and the fly turned upon
his back. The second fly, seeing the
sad fate of his ( lend, resolved to eat
plain bread. But there was so much
alum in the bread that he, too, turned
over and breathed his last. The third
fly attacked glass of beer. but the
aloes laid him cold. The fourth fly,
seeing that every thing eatable was
tempered with, resolved to commit
suicide. He found some German fv
paper on which was inscribed death
to flies He partook freely, but the
more he ate the better he felt. He
stuck to the fly paper and lived to n
good old age.

Pie re Delcourt, TO be the worst place
in the world for food adulteration. he
saws that most of the butter sold in
Paris is largely composed of fatty river
scum which has been collected at the
mouths of the great drains that bring
the sewerage of the great city down 10
the Seine. M. Delcourt deliberately
states that there are speculative and
energetic persons who follow the butter
tasters on their rounds in tie central
market and carefully collect the butter
which has been tasted after it has leit
the mouths of the otfcials. This refuse
is sold to the perambulating or station
airy fried-cake vendors, to the a. treSco
makers of pancake and fritters, to the
simmerers of fried fish, and to poor
people who look for cheapness and
quantity before high prices and rare
quality. He also points out that every
thing used in Paris as food is boldly
and unblushingly adulterated. Bread
has been made with old worm eaten
sea biscuits and damaged flour, and it
has in this way caused an epidemic OF
typhoid fever more than once. Green
haricots, looking in the market quite
green and fresh, have been made out
of old vegetables, which have been
stepped in water, caused to swell, and
then colored by chemical means. New
green peas have been manufactured
ont of old ones colored with verdigris.
Wine is made chemically, the necessity
of infusing the essence of grapes into it
being absolutely ignored, and the very
corks which are put into the bottles of
popular vintages, both real and sham,
have been picked mp ont OF the river.

Flooded with Bogus Coin.

Sault Ste Marie is literally Hooded from
end TO end with Canadian counterfeit cur
rency. The rush of the boom there and
the fact that Canadian money has been
considered as good as any made q splen-
did opening for the rascas and they en-
braced it TO the utmost. The ordinary
means were discarded and the most unique
and daring methods pursued to put the
spurious stuff into circulation. The most
successful of the counterfeiters looked
like a virgin greenhorn and he acted that
way, too. When introduced to the gam
bling bells he staked great handfulls of his
money, and didn't take winning over
once i'm five bets. IT is estimated that he
gathered in not less than SO, 900 of good,
clean American money and then fitted,

AROUND A GREAT STATE.
The NIlsslng Man Pound.

On the night of May IS last George
Keppel, peddler of Bay City, went to his
farm a few miles from the city, in COM
pany with a Norwegian named Nelson,
whom lie had engaged to work on the
farm. That night the two men had a
bloody encounter, and the shanty on the
farm was found besmeared with blood.
The following day Keppel was missing.
Nelson came to the city and was arrested
on suspicion Of having murdered keppel.
lie was badly cut about the head and face,
and was destitute of clothing. He was
held a prisoner for several days and then
released. no further evidence being dis
covered duplicating him with the taking
off of Keppel. The latter was known 10
have $500 or 5000 on his person, and car
lied 81, 800 insurance on his life, most OF
which was placed this year. His con-
tinued absence led the supervisors to
offer reward for the body, dead or alive.
Nothing was heard of the missing man
until few days ago, when he was found
at Holyoke, Mass The theory is now
advanced that he intended killing Nelson,
burning the shanty, and using the body
as his own in order TO defraud the life

ence which will be thrown in their ia
